How long does a typical divorce take?

Georgia law allows a divorce case to be finalized 31 days after the defendant has actually been served with paperwork. We can get a settlement agreement submitted earlier than that, but the judge is mandated to wait until the 31st day after service has been perfected on the defendant to settle the documents.

If a hearing in front of a judge is not required however a variety of problems have to be fixed, a case might take anywhere from 2 to 6 months.

A number of cases are solved at the mediation stage or through other official negotiations.

In the event that your partner is unwilling to settle in a reasonable manner, more intricate divorce cases can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or even longer to be finalized.

What is the difference between an uncontested divorce and contested divorce in Gwinnett County?

An uncontested divorce case is one where a signed settlement agreement is sent to the clerk's office at the time the complaint for divorce is filed. All other cases are lawfully considered contested divorces.

How come my divorce doesn't qualify under your flat-fee prices?

If your divorce includes concerns such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the division of marital property, a flat-fee divorce is often not an option. It is hard to anticipate whether your case can be managed promptly or if it will take considerably longer to complete.
